Your front door shapes your home’s first impression and protects what’s inside. When choosing a new entry door, you need durability, design flexibility, and long-term performance. Home Guard is one option that stands out with its American-made craftsmanship, high-security features, and customizable styles.
Whether you’re considering steel or fiberglass, understanding what Home Guard offers can help you decide if it’s the right fit for your home.
Home Guard’s Steel Entry Doors
Best for Homeowners Who Want Maximum Security and Efficiency
Steel entry doors work well in both modern and traditional homes. Home Guard offers options in smooth and woodgrain finishes, giving homeowners flexibility in design. Some Long Island homeowners choose raised panel styles for a classic, timeless look–but we’ve seen plenty others prefer sleek, minimalist designs for a more contemporary feel.
Home Guard’s steel entry doors can also be customized with glass inserts, sidelites, or transoms to add natural light and curb appeal.
Steel entry doors are known for their unmatched strength and security. Home Guard’s 22-gauge steel construction makes these doors 33% heavier than many competitors, reducing the risk of forced entry. The steel-edge design also adds ten times the strength of a traditional wood-edge door, reinforcing your home’s safety.
On Long Island, where seasonal weather shifts bring humid summers and freezing winters, a steel door’s high insulation value (R-15.1) can help reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency.
Who Home Guard’s Steel Entry Doors Are Best For
Steel entry doors are ideal for homeowners who want maximum security, high insulation value, and a low-maintenance door built to withstand heavy use.

These doors also feature deep wood grain textures, allowing homeowners to achieve an authentic wood appearance with 20 hand-applied stain finishes. Inside, an environmentally friendly polyurethane core provides six times the insulation of wood, making it an energy-efficient choice.
